O Conselho de Saúde do Estado de Washington não está monitorando a propagação de doenças transmissíveis em populações de macacos em cativeiro, como várias documentadas no Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Primatas da Universidade de Washington.

 

Action Alert Dear, The Washington State Board of Health is not tracking the spread of transmissible diseases in captive monkey populations, such as several documented at the University of Washington's National Primate Research Center. We need your help: PETA plans to hand-deliver a petition calling for change to the Washington State Board of Health on June 4. Every Signature Matters: Sign NOW! PETA wants the board to close this dangerous public health gap and has joined with other groups in submitting a first-of-its-kind petition to the board to require tracking of transmissible diseases in captive monkey populations. The board has just 60 days to decide. Please ACT NOW to urge the Washington State Board of Health to accept the petition for rulemaking and begin tracking transmissible diseases detected in captive monkey populations in laboratories. Require Disease Reporting Thank you in advance for taking action today and for all that you do for animals. Sincerely, Amy Meyer Director of Primate Experimentation Campaigns Laboratory Investigations Department PETA ☆  ☆  ☆ Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
